Nusa Penida Snorkeling with Manta Bay & Island Tour

not recommended

I don’t know where to start. The speedboat that took us to Nusa Penida had 140-150 people on it ( not 20 as described). I don’t know whether they spilled the fuel on board, or what was it, but we thought that we will pass out on board because of it smell. It made me feel so dizzy because we had to inhale it for an hour. The changing/ showering process before the next boat took longer than we spent on the island going through the viewpoints. We had at least 5 different guides and all of them had limited english, but at the same time were so rude! We had to RUN around the island! One guide even lost girls from our group and they had to figure out how to find us! They also annoyed everyone by asking to take pictures at EVERY SPOT we went. They said that their boss required pictures of each guest everywhere we go. If you want to enjoy the island, just go on your own or use a different operator. Not recommended.

Nusa Penida is a hidden paradise

Nusa Penida is a hidden paradise i have been to. they offered a great snorkeling experience. beautiful coral reefs and charming manta ray amazed me. the equipment they have is very complete and safe

Disappointment

Firstly, there were only 3 snorkeling spots and when we realized it before the tour started and texted this situation to the tour operator they stated that: "2 points of 4 spots are very close to each other that is why the authorized person mentioned as 3 points but actually we are going to swim in 4 points". However it wasnt true. All staff on the tour and every activity on the tour was carried out with great hurry and rush. Despite the fact that there were only 3 snorkel points, we were able to swim a maximum of 15 minutes in each spot. And in land trip they didnt give us even a free moment to enjoy the view. Because of the terrible roads and trafficjam we wasted a whole day in car. We could use the money and time for better activities.

The staff so humble

I like this place, the staff so humble, they know how to make tourists feel happy. I really enjoy spent my time at Nusa Penida. I wanna go here again next time with my friend!

Manta rays

Nice place, you can snorkling with the cute manta rays. Fyi, they are big but not dangerous, they are not as scary as you think, of course if you dont disturb them.

An Unforgettable Moment

I got an unforgettable moment to see manta rays in the Nusa Penida sea. they are amazing and elegant creatures while swimming underwater. their worker very friendly, snorkeling equipment is complete and guaranteed to be safe

See Manta with my family

I'm so amazed to see Manta Rays and their coral reefs is so pretty. Next time, I wanna go there again with my family or with my circle friends

My Trip Last Year

overall, the snorkeling experience in Nusa Penida was really a highlight of my trip last year. it's an experience that will not be forgotten. i could see stunning coral reefs and diverse marine life.

Unforgettable Experience in Nusa Penida

This snorkeling tour in Nusa Penida was very enjoyable and impressive. We visited 4 snorkeling locations, each with its own beauty. Manta Bay was the most impressive as we could see manta rays up close. The other snorkeling spots were also amazing with rich biodiversity. After snorkeling, we explored the island and enjoyed views from some of the best spots in Nusa Penida. Our guide was very experienced and friendly, making the tour even more enjoyable. An unforgettable experience!

Spectacular Manta Bay and Fun Snorkeling

This 4-point snorkeling tour, including Manta Bay, was the perfect choice to enjoy the underwater beauty of Nusa Penida. We saw several large and beautiful manta rays at Manta Bay, which was truly awe-inspiring. The other snorkeling points offered amazing views of coral reefs and many tropical fish. After snorkeling, the island tour took us to some breathtaking spots with incredible views. The guide's service was excellent, and they made sure we enjoyed every moment.

Incredible Snorkeling Adventure

Taking the 4-point snorkeling tour in Nusa Penida was one of the best experiences I've had. Our guide was very professional and ensured we had everything we needed to enjoy snorkeling safely. Manta Bay was the main highlight where we saw several graceful manta rays. The other snorkeling spots were filled with fascinating marine life. The island tour after snorkeling was impressive with stunning natural scenery. This tour truly offers the best of Nusa Penida.

Fantastic Snorkeling and Beautiful Island Views

This snorkeling tour in Nusa Penida was truly fantastic. We visited 4 snorkeling points, each offering a unique experience. Manta Bay was my favorite because we were lucky enough to see several large manta rays. The other spots were equally beautiful, with plenty of colorful fish and healthy coral reefs. After snorkeling, we continued with the island tour and enjoyed breathtaking views from famous spots like Kelingking Beach and Broken Beach. A perfect experience from start to finish.

Amazing Experience in Nusa Penida

I recently went on the 4-point snorkeling tour in Nusa Penida, including Manta Bay and the island tour, and it was an incredible experience. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We saw manta rays at Manta Bay, which was the highlight of the tour. The other snorkeling spots were also spectacular with beautiful coral reefs and abundant marine life. The island tour added a delightful experience with stunning views from the cliffs. Highly recommended!

Amazing Experience

an amazing experience to be on vocation at Nusa Penida, we were invited to tour island and snorkeling to see Manta Rays, fishes and pretty coral reefs

Beautiful island

last year, i spend my holiday at Nusa Penida. i was very amazed because the island is really beautiful. i came to dive and see Manta Rays

Holiday at Nusa Penida

On holiday to Bali, if you haven't been to Nusa Penida yet, you can finally snorkling and meet Manta Bay. I really recommend that if you want healing you can also come here with your family

a good destination for honeymoon

for a honeymoon, Nusa Penida could be a good destination, beside being able to meet Manta Bay here you can also snorkel. taking photos is also okay. I really recommend it.

Swimming with Stingrays

All this time I saw people swimming with stingrays so I was curious about the sensation, finally I went to Nusa Penida and found Manta Bay. Apart from that, you can also snorkel, it's really exciting.

Never regret visiting Nusa Penida🏕

The view is so beautiful. I never regret to being here. in Nusa Penida i could see many kinds of fish, especially beautiful Manta Rays

Don't forget to add Nusa Penida as your list trip to Bali

Don't regret going to Bali and choosing Nusa Penida because you can snorkel with your family and it's safe for children too. There are lots of fish, so children can take photos with the fish

Good

I went vacation to Nusa Penida with my family. We went island tour and snorkeling to see beautiful fish and coral reefs. luckily, we met the Manta Rays

Really Recommended!!

Really recommend it, early last month I came here with my friends for a meeting. but you can really enjoy snorkeling with Manta Bay while on holiday

My lucky day of the year I can meet Manta Ray

Last month i went vacation to Nusa Penida with my family. we went island tour and snorkling to see beautiful fish and coral reefs. luckily, we met the Manta Rays

A pleasant experience visiting Nusa Penida

Never regret visited Nusa Penida, we can diving and snorkeling while seeing Manta and other fish. Nusa Penida Island is very beautiful and clean!

A Day Touring at Nusa Penida

It was very exciting yesterday on vacation with my friends to Nusa Penida. the first time snorkeling, at first I was scared but it turned out to be a very fun experience, being able to swim with fishes

travel with beautiful views under the sea

Highly recommended for diving tours in the sea with clear water, lots of small fish that we can see, the guides are also friendly and polite and don't feel afraid because they are very professional

A Big Stingrays

It's great to see Manta, the big stingrays. the coral reef is very beautiful, an amazing experience could spend time on vacation at Nusa Penida

good tour

Whoa, I'm in complete awe at what exists in Indonesia's seas, particularly around Bali. Here, I can observe a wide variety of marine life, from little fish to enormous manta rays.

indonesia

I adore Bali and Indonesia, and its natural beauty is unparalleled. The sea here is exceptionally clear and clean, allowing me to witness the incredible undersea life. My trip to Indonesia was truly remarkable and I will always remember it.

experience

Whoa, what a gorgeous view, and what a friendly crew and company... The opportunity to dive and see a wide variety of fish was the most worthwhile experience I had in Bali.

snorkling

This location promises unique experiences beneath the sea. This place is a nature lover's dream come true, offering clean waters, lots of facilities, and affordable rates for snorkeling.

Not a good experience; disappointing and unsafe.

The pick up driver arrived on time, though he sat outside smoking and me and the others from my hotel had to go look for him. He didn’t speak much English so instructions were vague. When we stopped he took us across a busy street to the El Ray tour office - the outfit that without mentioning the name on Viator, did the tour. We were herded inside to pay or get a receipt if we pre-paid, and then got a piece of tape to put on our shirts with the number of the tour we chose. After sitting and waiting for 30 minutes, we were (with dozens of others) were told to follow a guy with the El Ray flag on to the harbor and the boat that would take us to the island. The ride was ok, though we were told where to sit and I was in the back with no window or fresh air. Thankfully I don’t get seasick, but it was stifling hot until they opened the back door to let air in once we got underway. Once at the island, we were herded out with hundreds of others then walked a rocky, dirt path to a crowded place where we were to get fins and masks. Again, no clear instructions and the bathroom and changing area were pretty gross. We were then sorted by the number on our stickers and herded on to a small speed boat. 23 people and no life jackets! Very crowded. Fast and bumpy ride for 20 minutes, and several got sick. Important note: eat before you get on a boat. You’ll get even more sick if you don’t. So with that loveliness going on, we finally stopped at first snorkel place. Here, they finally gave out life jackets. Not much to see underwater, though one of the guys from the company swam around and under us and took pictures of us with his go-pro. NOTE: NEVER received promised photograph which they supposedly sent to what they called “your booker” and I guess was El Ray. Two more stops - all very quick of/on the boat into the water and hardly time to enjoy the swim/snorkel. Those who got sick stayed on the boat, some still were throwing up! But those who got in the water did see some nice coral and parrot fish at last stop, the aptly named Crystal Bay. Got back to fin and mask place, turned them in and changed/showered in funky outdoor area. Then 5 of us were called to go with a driver for a tour of the island and lunch. Basically, it was a ton of driving up and down narrow roads and hills. Some pretty, some not. NO commentary from the driver on what we were seeing/village names/any cultural mentions…nothing. He played some music on the radio and… that’s it. And that got annoying actually. Nice guy but also limited English. I was hoping for a little more info about the island and life there… nope, nothing. Lunch stop was at a place that had other package tour folks - only a few choices included and the extras our table ordered (to be paid for separately) never arrived. Probably ok cause well, see the picture of the chicken cutlet and rice. If we weren’t so hungry 6-1/2 hours after leaving Sanur, it would have been inedible. One of the other choices was a plate of French fires, lol so don’t expect anything fancy. Drive continued to several spots where we stopped - all crowded with people looking for an instagram photo. Pretty, yes. But the one I’ve pictured was a steep walk down hill and then down foot high cement steps with no railings. Not easy if you’re older and/or not in great shape. With the distance we had to go and all the traffic near the harbor, we barely made the ferry back to Sanur. Seriously, they had pulled up the ropes and we had to run down the dock and were the last to board - thankfully they waited for us. They gave me a seat by a window this time and a little bottle of coke, so the return ride to Sanur was actually pleasant. Do not recommend this at all if you want to have a nice, relaxing time. Find another way to enjoy this island or other places in Bali.

Bali and its beauty

Wow, the view is very beautiful, the crew and staff are all friendly... The most valuable experience I found in Bali was the pleasure of being able to dive and meet lots of different types of fish.

someday I will come here again

My trip to Indonesia was very impressive and will never be forgotten since I came here, I love Indonesia, I love Bali, their nature is so beautiful, especially the sea here, it is very clean and the water is clear, I can see clearly what is under the sea there, which is so amazing

fun experience under the sea

Wow, I am so amazed by what is in the seas of Indonesia, especially in Bali, in this place I can see so many kinds of things under the sea, starting from small fish, there are also some very large mantas here.

I really liked the trip here.

It's really exciting to be able to holiday here, this is the best place for snorkeling in Bali that I have ever found, highly recommended

Don't take these tours! Organise a trip to Nusa Penida by yourself.

This tour is extremely stressful and not enjoyable at all! The promise is that you will see everything in one day, but the truth is that this is a nightmare: - too big groups - too tight schedule - no time to enjoy - difficult for the organisers and stressful for the participants Definitely not recommended for families, kids, or elderly people. The organisers do not offer refunding in case the tour is cancelled, so they will try at any cost to take you there. No matter what the weather conditions are, they will take you snorkelling. We had a day of rough sea and the guys on the snorkelling boat have very little time to take you to 3-4 spots. So they try to speed as much as possible to stay on time. We had some really crazy jumps on big waves, with the boat taking off in the air and everybody jumping off their seats and crashing back, which was fun for me, but extremely scary and dangerous for most of the other passengers. In Manta Bay, the first stop, half of the people onboard were already sick and vomiting. No mantas and nothing to see here except for other people's vomit. The swimming was also rather challenging due to the strong currents. In the rest of the places we saw some small fish and some coral reef, but the schedule was tight so no time to enjoy and most of the people wouldn't even go into the water anymore, since they were sick or scared. The land trip is no better. If you haven't got sick on the boat, you would probably be on the winding and extremely tight roads. After having a short lunch in a rather sad, cheap, and busy restaurant somewhere along the road to Diamond Beach, we got something like 10 minutes at each location to check the view and take a couple of pictures. It would have been much better to organise the trip by myself. Hopefully, next time.

the ocean is very beautiful

I don't regret choosing a holiday to Bali and choosing this tour, I was amazed to see lots of small fish and I could take photos of them making unforgettable memories.

This experience was very valuable and I will definitely come back again!

This snorkeling tour truly satisfied my adventure cravings! Seeing manta rays up close at Manta Bay was an amazing experience. Additionally, the other snorkeling spots were beautiful with many colorful fish and coral reefs. However, I wish there was more time to relax at each snorkeling location. Our guide was very nice and knowledgeable, explaining a lot about the marine ecosystem. The land tour was also very impressive, especially the view from Kelingking Beach.

Amazing

That is the right word to describe our experience. We got to snorkel at four different locations and each offered a unique experience. Meeting manta rays at Manta Bay was the highlight of this tour. Our guide was very informative and helped us get the best experience. The land tour was also exciting with visits to Broken Beach and Angel's Billabong which were breathtaking. I'm very happy I chose this tour and will recommend it to friends.

moment I will never forget

The snorkeling experience in Nusa Penida was absolutely incredible! Seeing manta rays up close at Manta Bay is a moment I will never forget. The water was clear and the coral reefs were beautiful. However, I felt the time given at each snorkeling spot was a bit too short. The land tour was also very interesting with spectacular views. However, the journey from Bali to Nusa Penida was a bit choppy, so be prepared for that. Overall, I highly recommend this tour!

I highly recommend

My family and I just returned from a snorkeling trip in Nusa Penida and we were very impressed! This tour package is very comprehensive, covering 4 amazing snorkeling spots including Manta Bay. We were lucky to see graceful manta rays swimming nearby. The tour guides were professional and friendly, ensuring everyone felt safe and comfortable. Besides snorkeling, the land tour also offered stunning views, especially at Kelingking Beach. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bali.
